Nah, no way they beat PS3+360. Also, I think the Series S and the Switch are going to cannibalize the casual market that wants a cheap console that isn't the most powerful device in the market and that doesn't care about how old a machine is.

In 2013-2014, those people had to buy a PS3 or a 360 because there were no alternatives for them, now they have the Series S and the Switch.

The DS launched in November 2004 in North America, December 2004 in Japan, and March 2005 in Europe, while the Nintendo Switch launched worldwide in March 2017. Therefore, the holiday periods for the two consoles do not lineup, which is why there are big increases and decreases.

The Nintendo DS sold 154.02 million units lifetime. The Nintendo Switch is currently 83.11 million units behind the lifetime sales of the DS.

Before Covid I didn’t think 8th Gen would make it. Then the bump made me think it would, bit I’m now I’m sceptical again after this low holiday. It’ll be close. In fact I’d say PS4 beating GameBoy is also in jeopardy.

That Switch is managing to stay somewhat close to the freaking DS never stops amazing me. Especially when it still hasn't had a price cut and is selling for what, twice, three times what DS cost by this point?

The Switch just needs to keep with the DS for one more year, and then it will be much easier to get ahead of the DS. 2021 will be crucial.

So Switch has sold about 25% more launch aligned, and gained by over a third of PS4's current lead in the last 12 months. Switch should win this fairly decisively in the end.

Seems Switch should surpass PS4 lifetime sales in the US during Q1-Q2 2022. But of course it also depends on Sonys actions with PS4 like pricedrops.

where did the PS4 vs 360 in US went ?
